The Four Calling Birds

"The Four Calling Birds" is the name given colloquially to the four guardians of Withering Heights.

History
Each guardian made a game of guarding the entrance tower to Withering Heights. They would regularly go out on excursions to the cities of Dray'cossia in search of new subjects to test their dastardly spells on.

Members

 * Melinoe, 42, considered the leader of the Calling Birds based on her considerable magical ability. She was rumored to have contracted with the Lord of the Dark, Umbra, to obtain some of her power. She guarded the top floor of Withering Heights' entrance.
 * Arae, 39, known as the "trickster" of the Calling Birds due to her unpredictable and cunning personality.
 * Orpheotia, 38, the wife of Arae. The kindest of the Birds, though her floor of the entrance tower was renowned for its spike in difficulty.
 * Eurynomos, 35, the youngest of the Calling Birds. Treasures left on the first floor of Withering Heights' entrance were often sacrificed as patron gifts to Kobobo because of him.
